March is Women's History Month

The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of women whose commitment to nature and the planet have proved invaluable to society.

AfroPop Worldwide

AfroPop Worldwide, a weekly, hour-long program and website (afropop.org), examines the music and culture of the African diaspora through a rich mix of in- the-field interviews, musical performances, and scholarly commentary. AfroPop Worldwide is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Tupperware!

In the 1950s, American women discovered they could earn thousands -- even millions -- of dollars from bowls that burped. "Tupperware ladies" fanned out across the nation's living rooms, selling efficiency and convenience to their friends and neighbors through home parties. Tupperware! is an NEH funded documentary from the PBS American Experience series.
